Chapter 1660 Situation Getting Worse
In order to heal his wounds, Rocky had to keep mute as Esteban told him to. Every day, he looked up
at Esteban with big eyes and watched thetter use different methods to try and fix him.
His consciousness had returned for a few days and now, he wanted Esteban to repair himpletely.
Although Esteban''s efforts were not obvious to the naked eye, Rocky could feel his body slowly
recovering.
Yet, he still didn''t feel the presence of the power that had once flowed through his body. It was like it
had vanished into thin air. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for that to happen. After all, he
had exhausted the power in the Scarlet Heaven Jade. Now, he had to pay the corresponding price. And
losing his strength was not that serious. He could have died instead. Rocky felt extremely lucky to have
survived at all.
The recovery was hard but Rocky had grown used to it and he did not find it boring. He took advantage
of the time and tried to learn new things. After all, he was a gicist, and the gic technology was
based on medical skills. He paid close attention to all the strategies Esteban was using to treat him,
studying his medical skills secretly.
Half a month went by.
Rocky had been imprisoned to the ice bed for so long that when he could finally stand, his limbs barely
moved. He could not go far, but it was better than lying on the ice bed every day.
Esteban was surprised to see that Rocky, who had been more of a zombie than a humantely, had
recovered so much in just one month. He was very confident in his own medical skills, but this would
have never happened if Rocky did not possess a good physique and an amazing recovery ability.
In addition, while he was treating Rocky, he discovered that Rocky''s physique waspletely different
than any human being he had treated before. He saw traces of power in his skin. Rocky had been
seriously injured, and Esteban figured that he was able to recover because of the unique aspects of
him.
Of course, Esteban didn''t care about Rocky''s identity or background. What he cared about was
whether he couldpletely restore Rocky back to his original self. After all, he considered him as
nothing but a trial subject. If he could return Rocky to his full health, he would take a qualitative leap in
his medical skills.
Now that he was ambtory once again, Rocky began to recover faster and smoother.
In just a few days, Rocky could flex every joint and contract every muscle fully. Minus the fact that he
could not feel any power in his body, he looked like an ordinary, healthy human.
However, his recovery signaled the beginning of a life of envement. On the second day he was able
to move freely, Esteban sent him on errands like collecting groceries in the Ghost Pce and filling up
tubs with warm water so he could wash his feet before he went to bed.
And because Rocky was an ordinary man now, he had no strength to resist Esteban. In addition,
Esteban did save his life, so he felt like he had to repay him and act as his servant for a while.
The only advantage of being a servant was that Rocky was free to wander inside the Ghost Pce. A
few times, he tried to leave the Ghost Pce while Esteban was sleeping or away, but he was quick to
discover that the Ghost Pce had been sealed and Esteban was the only person who coulde
and go from it. So he was forced to give up the idea of leaving and he continued to try to recover his
power in the Ghost Pce.
At first, Rocky didn''t think he could ever recover his strength because he had nearly died. As a result of
that, his strength had fizzled out. If he had had his original strength, it wouldn''t have taken such a long
time to recover.
After several days of trying to regain his power, Rocky came across something amazing. Although all
the power in his body was gone, including his original strength at the Emperor Realm, the meridians in
his body were more spacious than they had been when he broke through to the Emperor Realm. He
even found some remnants of the power from the Scarlet Heaven Jade left in his meridians. Although
the remaining power was minuscule, if he could slowly gather it, it could be the foundation for his
new cultivation.
Therefore, every day, when he wasn''t busy serving Esteban, Rocky secretly tried to condense the
remaining power of the Scarlet Heaven Jade in his meridians.
Slowly, the faint power began increase. As time passed, he had umted so much power that it
resembled a dancing me inside of him. With the me as the foundation, he could start his cultivation
again.
A steady flow of water droplets could easily gather into a pool of spring water. The same principle
applied to the power in his body.
The moment that Rocky was able to sessfully condense the power of the Scarlet Heaven Jade in
his body, a type of mind method called the ming Ogre Form appeared in his mind.
At first, Rocky didn''t understand what was going on. He immediately started practicing the ming
Ogre Form and some unique skills shed through his mind as if he had already owned them.
Later, he realized that the action of merging the power of the Scarlet Heaven Jade and the memories of
the powerful martial spirits in the jade had resulted in the martial spirits'' unique skills bing his own.
Another month flew by.
With the help of the ming Ogre Form, Rocky sessfully broke through to the King Realm.
Although that was nothingpared to the Emperor Realm, he was quite satisfied with his progress. At
the speed he was currently recovering at, he believed that he would be able to return to the Emperor
Realm within a few months.
While Rocky was struggling to survive and regain his strength, huge events had been urring in the
human race.
It all stemmed from the death of the chief of the Di n and the rumors around Canaan, who had really
been a member of the Shura Race in disguise that intended to destroy the human race.
The Di n was one of the most powerful forces in the human race for a long time. Even the Sky-
suppressing Sect and the Sovereign Sect, who were old enemies, showed respect to the Di n.
Normally, they stayed in line, but now, the death of the chief of the Di n had triggered a battle
between them. The Sovereign Sect insisted that the chief of the Di n had been killed by Canaan and
no one knew where they had heard that news from. The rumor only continued to stir the pot and made
them hate each other more.
Although the Di n insisted that their chief had been killed by someone from the Shura Race, not the
real Canaan, it was not enough to make the two sides calm down.
The whole human race had fallen into disarray because of the battle going on between the Sky-
Suppressing Mansion and the Sovereign Sect.
The Di n, who had lost their chief, couldn''t handle the situation either. The death of their chief was
already a fatal blow to them. Now, they needed to find a new chief. They didn''t have time for anything
else.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
